Mr Hazzledine was travelling with his friend, Mark Miller, who was travelling on his motorbike ahead.

The pair were on their way to Belgium for a trip away.

Mark said: “He didn’t seem him himself really, he was a little peaky or under the weather but I don’t know if I was just clutching at straws.”

Coroner Caroline-Beesley Murray said: “No one knows exactly what would have been going through his mind as he went round that bend. He was clearly a much-loved man after seeing your statements and I express my condolences to you.”

His wife Lynn, called him a “loving and kind” man who left behind two daughters, two step-children and four grandchildren.

Lynn said: “He was known as ‘cheeky grandad’ they absolutely adored him.

“He was such a big support to his mum who is 85 years old.

“At his funeral there was just a sea of red because of his favourite team Nottingham forest, he was such a popular man.

“He just made my life amazing. He just had the biggest heart and we will miss him so much.”
